We’re confident that a double chance bet on Braga will payout on Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in the Portuguese sides’ favour. The visitors haven’t lost in the group stage so far and need to win to ensure they finish in first place ahead of Wolves. Slovan Bratislava won’t be easy to beat in their own backyard but Wolves did pick up three points there but just in case the game does end in a draw, we have backed a double chance bet rather than an outright Braga victory.

The guests are arriving It's a glitzy ceremony as usual with a lovely red carpet - with a Fiat hatchback parked in the middle of it. Anyway, Robert Lewandowski is here, looking well given that he's currently in rehab for an addiction to scoring goals.

This group of players helped this club be where it is. After this kind of thing we name a street, a pitch. What he has done is incredible, fantastic, not just for the game today, for the last 10 years.
